spend 4 night here for work. its fine as a few days stop over but not for a holiday. breakfast was not good at all not worth the price. also not much to do at the guest house. rooms are average. tv too small. no aircon

I really enjoyed my stay together with my family at Hoylake Inn. All I can say is that you should keep up the good work and excellent service that you provide. The entire Hoylake Inn team are warm and always eager to help and make you to really enjoy your stay.

Very accommodating of the crazy times we come and go, amazing place and the hosts are always ready to help! Being here for the Buffalo Regatta we had no hassle with getting breakfast before our first heats. Clean and air conditioning made it super comfy!

My wife and I, from Zimbabwe, had the pleasure of spending three nights at Hoylake Inn.
Hosts Laura and Kim went out of their way to give us a very warm welcome and to make us feel at home. Our en-suite room was very comfortable and every day we were provided with provisions to make tea or coffee in the...

The place is filthy, their ironing room is even worse, we were given sour/rotten food. We complained on Monday again on Wednesday they gave us rotten food. One of their employees told us that they usually give black guest rotten food, but give whites fresh food.We even reported to the travel agency that booked for us.

My dear guest
We were dismayed to read your vitriolic review, especially after we had gone to so much trouble to try to accommodate your many, meticulous, dietary requirements. Once we understood your needs, we did try our level best to offer you food more specific to your culture. However, we could not be held responsible if you were unable...

We have spent 10 glorious days at this B&B. The location is superb, no more than 5 minutes from the beach, the golf course and all the shops. The owners are very accommodating and gave us great advice on restaurants to go to and places to see. The rooms are large and comfortable, the decor elegant and the views from...
